Alpha Step Daddy : Four Mates, One heart Chapter 103 : The Stain
RAVENThe water in the basin was steaming, but it didn't feel hot enough.I sat on the edge of the bathtub in our quarters, my shirt discarded on the floor. Dominic stood behind me, his hands trembling as he dipped a soft white cloth into the water. Every time the cloth touched the skin of my throat, I flinched.It wasn't just because of the soreness. It was because the marks weren't purple or red. They were black.Five long, thin finger-prints were etched into my skin like ink soaking into parchment. No matter how hard Dominic rubbed, the color didn't fade. It had become a brand."I'm going to kill him," Dominic whispered.His voice was so low it was barely a sound, but the air in the bathroom vibrated with it. His wolf was right at the surface, his eyes glowing that molten, predatory gold. He looked like he wanted to tear the world apart just to find the piece that had hurt me."He told me to do it first," I said, my voice sounding thin and brittle. "In the cellar. For a second, h
Alpha Step Daddy : Four Mates, One heart Chapter 102 : Hollow Man
RAVENThe garden didn't just look dead; it looked like the light has been sucked out of it.Where the blue lilies had once pulsed with a gentle, indigo light, there was now only a scorched circle of black earth that felt unnaturally cold. The air above the patch shimmered with a greasy haze, like heat rising , but when I reached out a hand, my fingers went numb instantly."Raven, get back," Dominic commanded. His voice was a low growl, vibrating with the authority of an Alpha who was seconds away from a full shift.He didn't have to tell me twice. I stumbled back, my boots crunching on the withered remains of the grass. The wolves of the Iron Howler pack were fanning out into the tree line, their movements frantic. For a wolf, scent is everything. It’s the map of the world. But as I watched Jax and Cole pause at the edge of the woods, I saw the confusion on their faces."There’s nothing, Dominic," Jax called out, his nostrils flaring. He looked frantic. "No scent. No footprints. It
Alpha Step Daddy : Four Mates, One heart Chapter 101 : The Library At Midnight
RAVEN.I couldn't sleep. I spent the night sitting in the library, surrounded by the smell of old paper Merek was near the fireplace. He didn't say anything at first; he just watched the fire die out."He’s not himself, Merek," I said. "You saw him today.""I saw him," Merek agreed. "He is like a house that has been left empty for too long. Other things move in. Spiders. Dust. The wind.""What 'other things'?" I asked, my voice trembling. "He’s my father. We saved him.”"You saved his body, Raven," Merek said softly. "But he spent ten years as a vessel. He was the anchor for the seal. He wasn't just living in a cave; he was part of the machinery of that cave. You can't just unplug a man from that much power and expect him to go back to being a human who likes eggs and tea.""Is there a way to fix him?"Merek looked at me, his ghostly eyes filled with a pity that made me want to scream. "Some things aren't broken, Raven. They’re just... finished. Your father’s soul was the currency u
Alpha Step Daddy : Four Mates, One heart Chapter 100 : The Quiet After
RAVENFor the first three days after we returned from the Silverfang lands, the silence was almost louder than the explosion had been. I kept waking up in the middle of the night, my hand reaching for the silver vial on the nightstand, expecting to hear that thousand-layered whisper.But the vial was empty. The silver liquid was gone, soaked into floor, and the glass was just glass.It was a Tuesday, a day that felt aggressively normal. The sun was pale and cool, the kind of light that makes you want to stay in bed with a thick wool blanket. But life at the Iron Howler compound didn't stop for recovery.I sat at the small wooden table in the kitchen, watching the steam rise from a mug of tea. Outside the window, I could see the pack working. They weren't cleaning up gray dust anymore. They were building. Dominic was true to his word—the foundation for our new house was already being poured on the rise overlooking the valley."You’re thinking too hard," a voice said.I looked up.
Alpha Step Daddy : Four Mates, One heart Chapter 99 : The Vial
RAVEN.I was trembling, clutching the vial to my chest. "It spoke to me. The Hunger. It... it tried to make a deal."Dominic walked over and took my hands in his. His touch was grounding. It pulled me back from the cold edge of that dark voice. "It’s trying to get inside your head because it knows it can't beat you in a fair fight. It’s a parasite, Raven. It needs your fear to grow.""It offered me a world where you all were safe," I whispered.Dominic pulled me into a hard hug. "I’m already safe. I’m with you. And I’d rather die fighting by your side than live in a world made of shadows."He pulled back and looked at me. "Are you ready? The trucks are moving out."I took a deep breath. I felt the weight of the locket around my neck, the weight of the vial in my pocket, and the weight of the entire pack's future on my shoulders."I’m ready."We didn't take the main roads. We traveled in a convoy of blacked-out SUVs, winding through the narrow mountain passes with our lights off. The
Alpha Step Daddy : Four Mates, One heart Chapter 89 : War Room
RAVENThe atmosphere at the Iron Howler compound had shifted from "cleanup" to "war footing" in the time we were gone.Merek was waiting for us on the porch, his forehead lined up in worry. He looked like a man who had seen the end of the world and was trying to decide what to wear to the funeral."You found it," Merek said, his eyes falling on the box in my hands."We found a lot of things," I said, walking past him into the house. "We need to talk. All of us."We gathered in the library. The large table was covered in maps and old scrolls. Dominic stood at the head of the table, his hand resting on my shoulder.I took the silver vial out and set it in the center of the table. The liquid inside swirled like a miniature storm."My father left this," I told them. "He’s alive. He’s being held under the Silverfang Citadel."Merek leaned over the vial, his nose inches from the glass. "This... this is not magic. This is Essence. It is the pure blood of the First Queen, preserved before th
Alpha Step Daddy : Four Mates, One heart Chapter 11 : The unexpected visit
RAVEN We walked back to the main house. The living room had been cleaned up a bit, but the smell of bleach couldn't hide the metallic scent of blood. The broken door was boarded up with plywood. Jax opened the side door and Cole walked in first. He wasn't wearing his hoodie this time. He was

RAVEN. The shower was hot. Scalding hot. I stood under the spray until the bathroom filled with steam, clouding the mirror and turning the air thick. I watched the water swirl down the drain. It was pink. I touched my nose. The bleeding had stopped, but it was tender. My knuckles were swollen, th

RAVEN. The hallway was quiet. Too quiet. Usually, the compound was full of noise—boots on floorboards, laughter, engines revving. Now, it felt like a held breath. I walked toward the stairs and bare feet made no sound on the runner rug. I hadn't bothered with shoes. If I had to run, heels would

RAVEN Running wasn't the right word. I was practicing flying. My paws hit the earth, but I didn't feel the impact. I just felt the push. The ground was like a springboard. Every muscle in my new body worked in perfect rhythm. Extend. Pull. Push. Fly. The wind was cold against my snout. I
